Abstract
A 69-year-old woman presented a transient cerebral ischemic attack, showing left arm weakness and slurred speech which recovered within 4 h of onset, while computed tomography indicated a putaminal hemorrhage. The regional cerebral blood flow distribution, measured semiquantitatively by use of 123I amphetamine emission tomography, was disturbed, which persisted more than one month up to a maximum of 4.5 months from the onset of symptoms. This case illustrates a variety of putaminal hemorrhage of good functional and vital prognosis, and provides an example in which the regional cerebral blood flow disturbances might persist for more than one month up to 4.5 months after the occurrence of a transient ischemic attack caused by a putaminal hemorrhage.
